Apple Radish Slaw with Honey Lime Vinaigrette

Tart apples, crunchy radishes and a sweet and spicy vinaigrette all come together to create a healthy and refreshing slaw recipe perfect for BBQ season.I don’t want to jinx myself but I think it is safe to say that grilling season has finally arrived! After a ridiculously long winter, I am thrilled to be reunited with warm breezes and the sweet smell of dinner cooking on the grill. Radish season has not quite begun here so I was pretty excited when my friends at Dandy Produce asked me to create a recipe with their crunchy and delicious Radish MiniSticks.

Does your family enjoy radishes? Not only do they add great texture and crunch to many dishes but they are loaded in heath benefits including:

Detoxification: Radishes help naturally detox the body removing fat from the liver and detoxifying the bloodstream.

I love this recipe, I have made it many time. I am not one to follow recipes but this one is a keeper. The only change is I double the apples. I always make this to top BBQ pulled pulled pork instead of the traditional coleslaw. It is a healthy alternative for a BBQ as most BBQ recipes are not diet friendly. Thank you so much for posting this recipe years ago, as it is a crowd favorite.

I made this as an accompaniment for my mahi mahi tacos last week. Absolutely delicious. I belong to a CSA-type group that supplied about 20 huge crimson radishes, red onion, carrots, apples, jalapenos, cilantro and other things that I needed to use. I substituted red onion for the scallions, a sweet red apple for the granny smith, and cilantro for the mint. Most of my family loved it, and we used it not only for the fish tacos, but steak tacos the following night and chicken tacos two nights later. All gone now and I’m looking forward to making another batch.

I love radishes. They are definitely a salad staple around here. Who knew about all those awesome health benefits! PS you totally jinxed it! The start of the week in Chicago, it was 80. Now it is 50 AND rainy!
